DYNAMIC ALLOCATION FOR CONTROL CHANNEL AND DATA CHANNEL WITHIN A SUBFRAME

摘要

An apparatus, system and method for mapping an encoded data word into a subframe in a communication system. In one embodiment, the apparatus (620) includes a message controller (631) configured to allocate a first section of a subframe to a control channel and a complementary second section of the subframe to a data channel for an encoded data word. The apparatus (620) also includes a message formatter (633) configured to select one of: (1) map selected data bits of the encoded data word within the second section and repeat ones of the selected data bits within a part of the first section when the control channel is less than an upper limit, and (2) map selected data bits of the encoded data word within a part of the first section and the second section, and remove at least a portion of the selected data bits within the part of the first section when the control channel is more than a lower limit.
